Easy Avocado Bruschetta makes an easy breakfast or unique appetizer. A simple, healthy avocado toast snack for your next gathering.

**This post was updated in 2019. When this post was first published in 2012 we had just lost our dog Grace**

2012: Is today easier? I guess a little. It’s hard not to dwell when life throws a stick in your spokes. The Hubs said to me just now, “are you ok?”, and I said, “yes, just trying to put one foot in front of the other.”

Does it feel stupid and strange to be posting about bruschetta right now? Sure, but what else am I supposed to do? Cry more? Miss her more? Feel worse than I already do? I don’t think any of those things are possible.

To be perfectly honest, I can’t eat. The grief is making me sick to my stomach. Fortunately my extreme productivity the last few weeks is paying off, and I have a lot of posts “in the can” for the most part.

So please enjoy this recipe. Do not associate it with my poor doggie leaving this earth. She was still here when I made it. Just make it for your friends and family, and be happy that you have people to share it with.

Avocado Bruschetta

2019: Back when I first made this healthy appetizer recipe, avocado toast wasn’t even a thing. Now, it’s a common part of the American diet.

Lots of people do it topped with eggs, or everything bagel seasoning, or fresh veggies, but I still don’t see people making it with chimichurri. 

I think we need to start revolution because you need this in your life.

No baguette? Use any kind of bread/toast you have on hand.

For me, this is not only a light and healthy avocado toast appetizer, but I grew all this stuff myself! Our backyard avocado tree is really on a roll and we’ve always got fresh garden herbs on hand. 

Light, healthy, budget friendly, and tasty as they come.

Next time you’re hosting a little gathering, or if you’re craving something fresh, please remember this recipe. It’s the avocado toast appetizer recipe you never knew you needed. 

And just another quick note about the fact that this post has been updated; having a blog for so many years is such an incredible journal of my life. While I hate to relive the loss of our beloved dog, it’s a joy to recall the messages of love and support we received during that time. 

I feel very lucky to have this audience for all these years. Thank you all then and now.

    Betsy, I know I’m a little late, but I’m sorry to hear about your sweet puppy.

    This bruschetta is a fantastic way to highlight both avocados and the amazing flavors of chimichurri. I’d love for you to share this recipe (and any of your other favorite avocado recipes) in the avocado link-up/giveaway that I’m hosting with Kristen of Dine & Dish right now. http://bit.ly/NKF4rk
